Hi Maddie & Austin. Thank you for your efforts - apologies for my disappearance for a while. You have the right family. As you can see, info about Thomas is very limited. The Thomas who died in 1957 was only 3 years old - I have his burial record. So def not mine! I don't think I'll ever solve the Thomas Browning mystery, sadly. Thanks for having a look for me. Jan

Is this the family in 1861:
1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription 8 Court, 3, Smallbrook Street, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
Elizabeth Browning Head Widow Female 40 1821 Laundress London, Middlesex, England Jane Browning Daughter - Female 18 1843 ... London, Middlesex, England William Browning Son - Male 16 1845 ... London, Middlesex, England Elzabeth Browning Daughter - Female 14 1847 ... Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Elizabeth Browning Daughter - Female 12 1849 ... Birmingham, Warwickshire, England John Browning Son - Male 9 1852 Spice Maker Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Ann Browning Daughter - Female 7 1854 - Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
Transcription a little messed up!
Sarah 1847 is listed as Elzabeth

Hi Austin, thanks for having a look. New Inkleys was still around 1881. Thomas was a navvy, so probably came to B'ham with his family for work rather than family connections, I was just doing a bit of straw-clutching! :-)

Thank you Maddie.
It's slightly complicated (isn't it always).
My ancestor is Thomas Browning, born abt 1812, place unknown. I know pretty much nothing else about him, apart from occupation and father's name. My only other plan of attack has been to look for other possible family members - the Browning name isn't nearly as common as it sounds!
By 1861 his wife was widowed. I have been looking for a possible death for Thomas, and have found a burial 1860 Birmingham. Obviously I do not know that this is my Thomas. The address given is New Inkleys. I suppose I was hoping against hope that other Brownings turn up - you never know do you!
Thanks again for looking.

I've just read:
Station StreetC4Named after New Street Station, built 1854. Previous road on the same site was named New Inkleys and before that Dock Alley.
http://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?6988-Old-Inkleys-Location
So perhaps your Brownings moved when the site was developed?
Having said that, I do see reference to New Inkleys in the newspapers after 1854, and it does come up on a search for 1861.

had a look but can't find any browning, sorry anybody specific ? maddie

Hi all. I wonder if it's possible for someone to search for an address in 1851 & 1861 please? I don't have a number, just the name of the street, namely New Inkleys, Birmingham. I am looking for surname Browning. It's a very long shot, so please don't try too hard. Thank you! Jan
